Hi all, just spending a few hours analysing our pensions, and have noticed an approximate reduction in unit prices and then total valuation of 5.75% from the start of the year to end of May 2022.

Obviously the war in Ukraine, the economic woes most economies are experiencing probably the main drivers of this and with inflation forecasted to remain relatively high, growth globally will probably be slower than thought at the start of the year.

I was wondering if the many experts on this forum has noticed similar reductions in value of pension funds and what if any the consensus is in the market now.

I understand that as long term investments pensions ebb and flow over the duration of investing, but as we rapidly approach 60 we are trying to get a handle on when it would be financially viable to retire.

Any thoughts would appreciated.
